Strange pain on the outside of my left foot?

Hiya, I consider myself in pretty good shape, but I've only been running/jogging for the last 2-3 years. About two weeks ago I started feeling pain in the outside of my left foot, near the arches (metatarsels, maybe?). It's not sharp pain, but when I'm on my feet all day it can get annoying....
